Janus Or Jesus Genesis 12

An Abandonment Of Human Security The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.

An Abandonment Of Human Security  Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, the wife of his son Abram, and together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to Canaan. But when they came to Harran, they settled there (11:31).

A Call To The Unknown 4 So Abram went, as the Lord had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out. By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going (Heb 11:8)

A Promise To Sustain Him “I will make you into a great nation,     and I will bless you; I will make your name great,     and you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you,     and whoever curses you I will curse;

A Challenge To Bless Others All peoples on earth     will be blessed through you

Scripture… announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”[ (Gal 3:8)
